he surgical treatment of transposition of the great
arteries (TGA) is a well-established and routine procedure
nowadays, the Jatene operation (arterial switch operation
– ASO) being the treatment of choice for almost all cases of simple
TGA and all other presentations, including TGA with ventricular
septal defects, pulmonary stenosis and aortic arch anomalies.
In developing countries, issues like late presentation and lack
of neonatal care infrastructure are problems faced on a daily basis.
Certainly, that interferes with surgical results. It is also known that
anatomical aspects impose morbidity for a child with TGA that
requires an operation. Coronary artery anomalies are on the top
of the list of anatomical abnormalities and can affect early and
late results[1].
Considering all of the coronary artery anomalies described,
one of the most frightenin...
